Deacons

Two-time defending Champs are looking
smooth with their new warm-ups and the
only thing smoother is their game off
the court as they parlay in the
Hollywood nightlife on Saturday nights.
Tinseltown is going for 3 straight but
Foundation 2.0 respects the Champs and
wants to see where they stand against
the Champions. |

trailed the Stunners for the most part
of the game and showed they have the
heart of a Champion. They took over in
the last minutes of the 4th quarter and
Mike Mason is proving how much of
a defensive force he really is,
especially in the Diamond Division. PLP
dominated the Regular Season in Spring,
let's see how they fare up against them. |

Foundation 2.0
| Someone
please tell Bone Collector that
it's illegal to use the Teleport move in
the game of basketball. He is lightning
quick and he broke the scoring record in
his first game with 56 points. In the
same game, Spinmaster broke the
assists record by dishing 12 assists. If
you want to add Rookie of the Season,
Matt Lewis' rebounding record for
Thrillers, that makes it 3 record
holders in this team. |

Triple Dub Steven Watts' new team
is intimidating with size and lightning
speed. They showed Team Play that they can
play team bal and GM Dennis Adams is
already in the running for GM of the
Season. "When you have a GM who runs a
tight ship it makes it easier for me to
work with them," said the Commish. |

straight season the Stunners opened the

| As much
trash-talk as GM Andrew Persaud
dishes, it might ruin his persona if the
League tells everyone how loyal he is to
Superstar and how much of a class act he
really is. Rated R showcased how
downright wicked his teams were but he's

Aztecs next and if they beat them, the
